Interior styling?

[leon7284]

[leon7284]

ah sweet cheers- not quite a big enough wow factor for me.

It's definitely a subtle mod - but when combined with the W8 light .. it just adds a nice colour to the bland dashboard. I'll be doing something with red LED in the door pockets at some point, just haven't got around to it yet - will wait till the summer when it's warm enough to enjoy time outside

Glad I signed up to this forum - found out more here spending a few minutes posting the thread and reading the replies than I did from hours of trawling the internet!

Is that the Seat dash kit in those pics? Looks quite cool.

I had an idea of changing the door lights to UV bulbs might look quite cool when getting in/out of your motor!

I've just got myself some s3 vents, cupra r pedals and leather recaros that should do something for the car lol!

Leather Recaros sound good... where did you find those? Hurry up and get them fitted so we can see some pics

 

[willbatch]

Ahhh that for me to know lol!! There going in tomorrow weather permiting, should finish my cupra R rep off a treat lol!

 

[RobM]

I'd say so! Just don't forget the pics!

Hehe weather what? You don't need good weather - just a mate with a brolly - it's not like the leather will get soaked is it

 

[willbatch]

lol i would normally, its the cold i cant take getting a wimp in my old age lol!!

 

[meep meep]

Getting back to those vents (someone is going to kill me!), would it be possible to replace those chrome directional little tabs with the red ones on the LCR ?

 

[UncleFester]

I would have thought you could paint them easily enough

Ya but I reckon the real ones would look better, Im going to take the chance and order the parts, w8 aswell.

 

[UncleFester]

When you fit the vents ( if you're going illuminated) wire in the W8 light first, then you once you've got that working with the dimmer function, you can run the centre and passenger vent wires up the left hand screen pillar and the drivers side up the drivers side pillar - keeps the wiring nice and neat and avoids too many joins on the dimmer switch plug

 

[RobM]

What part of the S3 illuminated vents are actually illuminated? Any night pics of them?

 

[UncleFester]

It's the vent open / closed dial controls Rob - there's a link to pics in one of my earlier posts ...

There's a few more pics up there now - should be a bit clearer, as said above it's on the subtle side but at night it just makes the dash area look a bit less 'teutonic' - read bland

Cool, nice one Uncle

(edit) Just found it. Looks nice, but not sure it's a great value for money mod. If they turn up cheap enough though I would be tempted as they do look smart.
